Online e-Xtras

Electronic enhancements to Plant Disease articles

Consider adding one or more electronic enhancements (referred to as
"e-Xtras") to the online version of your Plant Disease article. See below for the options available, and let the senior editor assigned to your article know of your interest. The e-Xtra logo will appear on the first page of your article in print, the online tables of contents listing for your article, and the online abstract of your article. The logo indicates that additional materials are provided at the end of the online abstract.

Color

Could your article use more color? Figures appearing in black and white in the print version may be published in color online.

FEE: An extra $20 per figure.

SUBMISSION: With your initial submission, indicate to the senior editor that you wish to publish specific figures in color online. Include the color print original. Be specific in your cover letter that your figure is black and white in print, but color online.

Supplemental Materials

Consider enhancing your online article with additional tables, lists, files, or images. Supplemental materials must be reviewed by the senior editor, follow journal style, and be in a final format that will require no editing or modification by journal staff. Submission must also include a short description of the supplemental item. This description will be appended to your article's online abstract. Supplemental materials will not be included in the print or year-end CD-Rom versions of the journal.

FEE: $20 per item.

SUBMISSION: APS will accept MS Word and WordPerfect word processing documents; MS Excel and Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets; and .jpeg and .gif image files.

Links to Approved Websites

Your online article can contain links to GenBank or other sites on the web that are approved by the APS Publications Board. These links will be made from your HTML abstract on APSnet. Links to personal web pages are not allowed.

FEE: Up to five links free of charge; additional links, $5 each.

SUBMISSION: Simply submit the requested links with your article for review. Make sure the URL's are complete, commencing with "http://"

Online Figures for Plant Disease Notes

Up to two figures, with captions of 50 words or less, may be provided to supplement your online Plant Disease Note.

FEE: $20 per figure.

SUBMISSION: Figures should not be referred to in the note itself. Images should be provided in .jpeg format and must not exceed 350 pixels on the longest side, and should be saved at quality settings of 7 or higher.

Interpretive Summaries of Research

Each author of a Plant Disease research article is invited to submit a one-paragraph summary, written for a lay audience. These summaries, available from the tables of contents of Plant Disease online, are part of an initiative to share plant pathology research with a broader, less specialized audience. Interpretive summaries will not appear in the print version of the journal.

FEE: Free of charge.

SUBMISSION: Submit with the paper. Arrangements should be made with the senior editor handling the review of the paper.
